One Punch Man Manga Online Chapter 83

Chapter 83 – “The Hard Road Uphill” follows the aftermath of Garou’s fierce battle against the ambush team of Class A and B heroes. Severely wounded and fatigued, Garou is barely able to stand. Yet when Death Gatling unleashes his ultimate move — a relentless hail of bullets called “Death Shower” — Garou instinctively dives to protect Tareo, a child who unknowingly wandered into the battlefield. Despite his injuries and the overwhelming firepower, Garou uses his own body and nearby rubble to shield the boy.

The chapter powerfully highlights Garou’s contradiction: he is labeled a “monster,” yet he risks his life to save a child from actual heroes. When the smoke clears, the destruction is immense — but Tareo is unharmed, and Garou, although collapsed and bloodied, has survived. The heroes are stunned, realizing they may have nearly killed an innocent boy. This moment forces both the readers and the characters to question who the true “hero” really is.

“The Hard Road Uphill” refers both to Garou’s physical struggle against overwhelming odds, and to his emotional journey — climbing toward something greater, even as the world sees him as a villain.
